The Reach Recap

Mark 4:1-20PathHard-hearted. They hear the word of God, but it goes in one ear and out the other. Pharashies. Fixated on knowledge, wealth, power, and or self to ever see the goodness of God. RocksNo deep roots. Falls Creek, everything is great, but then boom, life hits. God is good in the highs and lows. God never changes.God never promises greatness in the world, just perfection in heaven. Believing in God does not mean you will be the best basketball player, doesn’t mean you will start or star in your sport or whatever. God doesn’t need the “greatest” to reach people for him; he needs obedience and faith through everything to reach the lost.  ThornsSin takes over.Living for Jesus is hard. Sin is tempting and easy. Lust is selfish, impatient, and a counterfeit for love. I think that is a good definition for all sin. Selfish (Get what we want), Impatient (NOW), and Counterfeit (Sin is never God, Sin is never Love, Sin is never Joy, Sin is never Satisfying). Good SoilGood base, fixated on the goodness of God. Still have trials, sin still exists, but they trust the gardener to take away the thorns, and they grow and thrive. When your heart is in the right place, the Word of God grows bigger in your life than you can imagine, and God will use you to reach people you cannot even fathom. How’s your heart today?Hard (No room for God), rocky (Room for God if everything is good), tangled in thorns (Duallity leads to destruction), or is it ready to let God grow you into someone different and better?

Chat, are we cooked? We dive into screen time and how it is ruining our walks with Christ! But we talk about how to overcome it and get into a deeper relationship with Jesus.  This Podcast is the WHOLE sermon Maverick preached this past Wednesday, so it is longer. Give it a listen, and share with a friend. 

Jason Brown delivered a great word on Phil. 2:1-8We don't walk towards Jesus; Jesus pursues and finds us!Our walks with Christ are not radical. Obedience is the baseline!

Join the Recap as we dive into John 6:1-15, and take a look at what it means to go ALL IN for Jesus!

How to seek, find, and utilize Godly Relationships in your life!Questions you need to ask to find, and be an imitator of God- Do they have a testimony? - When you look at them, are they imitators of God?- Do they live in the Light? - How do they speak? - Are they trustworthy? - Are they wise or seek wise counsel? (Have a mentor) - Do they pray?- Are they in their Bibles?
